Correspondence between Henry Deane and John Eliot Hodgkin relating to the forgeries by George Simonides. Two letters from Charles Stewart to Henry Deane. Reports on the Uranius of Simonides. A pamphlet 'Biographical memoir of Constantine Simonides, Dr PH, of Stageira, with a brief defence of the authenticity of his manuscripts' by Charles Stewart, London 1859. Another pamphlet 'Report of the Council of the Royal Society of Literature on some of the Mayer papyri and the palimsest ms. of Uranius belonging to M. Simonides with letters from MM. Pertz, Ehrenberg and Dindorf', London 1863.
These letters could be helpful for a number of reasons.
The biographical memoir is probably available through other sources, and salient points are mentioned in the 1862-1863 debates. The Report of the Royal Society may be available, and is likely only of moderate interest to the Simonides studies.
What would be most helpful, and likely new, are:
Correspondence between Henry Deane and John Eliot Hodgkin
Two letters from Charles Stewart to Henry Deane.
